Hi Tony,

thank you very much. I intended to use this "hack" :) only for testing
purposes. I bought a wonderful rtro looking Flourescenz display (VFD)
and have to explore how to connect this to my embedded linux SOC.
I though "vim is useful for doing thing...one only has to know how..."
so asked how to create testdata to be fed into /dev/ttyS0. Only
the line break was not what I want.
Thanks to your help I now know how to avoid it.
And once again: One only needs vim...and a syste to run it. :)

Thank you very much!
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
mcc
